The restaurant owner smiled at me

And cocked his head suspiciously.

"You look happy!" he said.

"I am," I said.

"I'm the king of the world,

Like Mohammad Ali!

I identify with greatness,

And all great people find 

Their likeness in me.

I'm not great,

But everyone else is,

And I am the reflection of all humanity."

I didn't really say all that.

But the restaurant owner really did smile at me

And tell me I looked happy.

And... I really am.

Even though I'd just come from another place,

Where I was treated rather rudely.

But lucky for me, I was wearing my 

"I don't give a damn tutu."

So I really did think every bit of that,

While I smiled back and said,

"I am."
